블루스 음악하고 벨리댄스를 춘 여자

I grew up near the hometown of Brad Pitt, Payne Stewart, Kathleen Turner, and one of those Bachelor fellows. Our home in the country was near the site of a minor 남북 전쟁 engagement.

A weekend visit to the site reminded me of my unfamiliarity with the Korean name of their own civil war, which turns out to be 6.25 전쟁 (6.25 사변 refers to the invasion of the south by northern forces).

The birthday festivities featured 블루스 음악하고 벨리댄스를 춘 여자.  I’ll never play the former, but someday I may become one of the latter.

A passing

Studying the Korean Language, this site’s first incarnation, is no more. I’d been hanging onto it, hoping that technology would eventually permit me to import my Haloscan comments. The passage of time took care of them; only two valid comments and one lonely trackback remained when I logged into my free Haloscan account today, making it easier to heartlessly strike the Delete button.
